Undercovers (2010)

Was so hopeful but episode 2, along with my patience, is nearing its end and I have to share my disappointment

I really hate that this show is so awful. We need African-American leads on TV, and I love JJ Abrams, but all is wrong. If one thing were right: the writing, the acting, the directing, the editing, the score, just maybe it would be worth watching. I can't believe Abrams wrote this! It has zero personality, and so much of the spy jargon is recycled from Alias, which was hokey too but excusable because of the interesting character development. It must be hard to sell this stuff, but these two leads aren't, again consult your Alias for how to. The directing and/or editing is not very sophisticated. The tricks needed to sell the action aren't there. Very disappointed.
